Since it was first announced, there have been massive amounts of speculation and anticipation for Valve’s Steam Machine, but as usual Valve has maintained almost complete silence until just recently.

Steam Machines will start launching next year. One of Valve’s proprietary Steam Controllers will ship with each one. And you shouldn’t expect to get your hands on any ofÂ Valve’s prototypes… unless you’re one of the 300 lucky people selected for the beta this year.P
